NOAH Clearinghouse | The Preservation Compact

Launched in 2021, the NOAH Clearinghouse was created as a component of the NOAH Preservation Lab, which combines applied research with deep stakeholder engagement to investigate complex topics, and develop strategies to break through the challenges.

Below are resources and examples that correspond to the NOAH Lab report guiding principles:

In 2024, the Clearinghouse was expanded and improved in partnership with the Institute for Housing Studies at DePaul University, as a result of a two-year research project. The new webtool, PreserveNOAH.com enables practitioners, policymakers, and advocates to easily navigate and understand various NOAH preservation approaches from across different market types.
